The Research Behind Of Detecting And Attributing LLM-Generated Passwords - Gäetan Ferry
GitGuardian Senior Cybersecurity Researcher Gaetan Ferry’s latest research shows that AI-generated passwords are leaving fingerprints in the wild. In this interview, he explains how he used Markov chains, a century-old statistical model, to detect patterns in passwords generated by modern LLMs, attribute them to model families, and identify 28,000 likely LLM-generated passwords across public GitHub. The findings are a warning for teams adopting AI coding agents.
